Location based push notification and multi-user class social introduction

A method for facilitating the selection and showing of for-sale property between a real estate agent and a client comprising:

• matching, by an application server, application users belonging to two separate user classes based on location data and orientation data from mobile devices associated with each of the users derived from respective GPS sensors and one or more motion sensors onboard the mobile devices associated with each of the users, the location data indicating that the application users belonging to two separate user classes are within a predetermined proximity and in a direction of a for-sale property;
• receiving, by the application server, a notification from a first user of a first user class of the two separate user classes selecting a second user of a second user class of the two separate user classes;
• and
• initiating, by the application server, audio telephonic communication between the first and second users respectively via a first mobile device and a second mobile device without sharing contact information between the first and second mobile device, the audio telephonic communication routed through the application server using an in-app calling service, wherein the first mobile device and the second mobile device do not have contact information associated with each other.

A method for facilitating the selection and showing of for-sale property between a real estate agent and a client comprising:

• periodically determining, by a client application instanced on a first mobile device, a first stage determination of location data of the first mobile device via GPS coordinates identified via an onboard GPS sensor, and orientation data of the first mobile device identified via one or more onboard motion sensors, and wherein the first mobile device is associated with a first user of a first user class;
• calculating a tight area based on a predicted direction of the first user using the location data of the first mobile device and orientation data of the first mobile device, wherein the tight area is further filtered from the first stage determination of location data and orientation data of the first mobile device based on proximal for-sale properties;
• determining, by an application server, a list of for-sale property within the calculated tight area based on location data from the first mobile device associated with the first user of a first user class, wherein the location data associated with the first user of the first user class includes the orientation of the first mobile device, and wherein the orientation of the first mobile device is determined by the first user pointing the first mobile device at the for-sale property;
• receiving, by the application server, a selection of a first for-sale property from the list of for-sale property, the location data indicating that the first mobile device is within a predetermined proximity of the for-sale property, and wherein the selection of the first for-sale property from the list of for-sale property is determined using the orientation of the first mobile device, wherein the orientation of the first mobile device is an orientation pointed at the first for-sale property;
• periodically triggering, by the application server, GPS coordinate checks via GPS sensors on a plurality of mobile devices each corresponding to a respective plurality of users of a second user class, the GPS coordinate checks indicate current locations of the users of the second class relative to the first for-sale property, the plurality of users of the second user class each associated with the plurality of mobile devices each within a second predetermined proximity of the first for-sale property;
• querying, by the application server, a subset of the plurality of users of the second user class for a current status and an estimated time of arrival at the first for-sale property, the subset of the plurality of users of the second user class identified based on the GPS coordinate checks of the plurality of mobile devices that correspond to devices within a second predetermined proximity of the first for-sale property, wherein the current status of the subset of the plurality of users of the second class is designated available in response to receipt by the application server of a message from the plurality of mobile devices respectively corresponding to the subset of the plurality of users of the second user class;
• transmitting, to the first mobile device, a ranked list of users of the second class identified as having a current status of available, the ranked list of users of the second class displayed on a user interface;
• matching, by the application server, the first user with the ranked list of users of the second user class, an ordering of the ranked list based on:
• a historical user rating of a respective user of the second class from users of the first class, and
• physical distance from the for-sale property as derived from respective GPS sensors;
• receiving, by the application server, a selection from the first user of the first user class of a second user of the second user class;
• and
• initiating, by the application server, audio telephonic communication between the first and second users respectively via the first mobile device and a second mobile device without sharing contact information between the first and second device, the audio telephonic communication routed through the application server using an in-app calling service, wherein the first mobile device and the second mobile device do not have contact information associated with each other.

A system for facilitating the selection and showing of for-sale property between a real estate agent and a client comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory including instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
• match, by an application server, application users belonging to two separate user classes based on location data and orientation data from mobile devices associated with each of the users derived from respective GPS sensors and one or more motion sensors onboard the mobile devices associated with each of the users, the location data indicating that the application users belonging to two separate user classes are within a predetermined proximity and in a direction of a for-sale property;
• receive, by the application server, a notification from a first user of a first user class of the two separate user classes selecting a second user of a second user class of the two separate user classes;
• and
• initiate audio telephonic communication between the first and second users respectively via a first mobile device and a second mobile device without sharing contact information between the first and second mobile device, the audio telephonic communication routed through the application server using an in-app calling service, wherein the first mobile device and the second mobile device do not have contact information associated with each other.
